First PH cycle Epistane help with pct

Hey guys I'm new around here and new to the ph world. I'm 21 years old, 6'0" 186 pounds around 10-11% body fat. I have been lifting for years and I am curious to see how this stuff will work on me. I plan on starting my cycle on August 4th just over 2 weeks from now. I am very excited but also nervous as to the side effects and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. I've been doing a ton of research but there's still things that people say that conflict that have me confused. Anyways, this is what I am thinking...

My PCT I am planning on buying Tamoxifen citrate (liquid)...has anyone had experience with the liquid? btw I am not starting the cycle until I have this.
I planned on doing 40/40/20/20
Is that enough for a PCT or do I need to add a test booster or AI? If so can someone name one?
I plan on taking creatine after as well
Do I need to continue the cycle assist during my PCT too?

6 weeks on the episode would be the best and start at 30 not 20
No reason to go 40 on the Nova 20/20/10/10 would be good
Do you need a test booster? Not necessarily but its helpful. Yes you need a ai in pct like erase
Start in 3rd week of pct and run for 4 weeks like this
Nova
20/20/10/10
Erase
00/00/03/03/02/01
And for a test booster DAA is a good choice 3g through the whole pct... I'm sure more will chime in with more options

Thanks for the input it's really helpful. So if I do 6 weeks it would look like 30/30/30/40/40/40? would you recommend going to 50 for weeks 5 and 6? this is my first cycle so I don't want to go overkill but I do want to see some good results.

For a first I wouldn't go past 40 but you can try it for a few days just to experiment and if the sides don't get unbearable then I don't see why not, just listen to your body... I never have though
And you can take creatine during your cycle as well

^this.

Nova liquid is fine. I prefer torem. For me torem works quicker with zero sides but everyone is different.

I use a cissus supplement for joint support. Supercissus is a popular one that has worked well for me in the past.

sounds good. I am taking all your advice and i have bought those things you guys have recommended. Thanks for the help. I am going to make a post logging my cycle and everything with blood work include and my gains and what not.

I just finished a similar cycle but I added P-Stanz on top of 30mg of Epistane. Gains were good and moderately keepable. Gained 17 lbs and lost 6-7lbs once pct was finished up. My recommendation is to get blood work done, google anabolicminds cheap blood work. It tells you to use privatemdlabs.com and choose the female hormone panel. This is great, tells you everything but lipids. I would get blood drawn before the cycle for a baseline, after you finish the epistane and start pct, and then one once its all said and done. If you can't afford the bloods don't bother doing a cycle, you will have a hell of a time getting you hormones back to normal by guessing. If you don't get hormones back to normal you can kiss those gains goodbye. It will cost $150 for all three tests.

On top of the bloods I would recommend getting a quality Co-Q10 supplement. I recommend Jarrow Q-absorb or QH-absorb, the latter is the better of the two. Run this at 100-200mg daily. In addition to the Omega 3's Co-Q10 is to protect your heart. PH's will mess up your HDL/LDL/VLDL's which will lead to cardiac damage. Additionally I would throw in Antaeus Labs Aegis, this is for liver protection since cycle assist is only slightly helpful to prevent liver damage. Aegis is TUDCA with Phosphotidlecholine (SP?) added in http://www.antaeuslabs.com/aegis.html . Run the TUDCA at 250mg 2x per day. TUDCA is the best form of liver protection. Also just know that even with liver sups you WILL get liver damage, your AST/ALT will rise outside of the allowable range after 4 to 6 weeks of cycling PH's. It will probably take another month or so to return to normal. If you allow your values to get to far out of wack you can cause permanent liver damage. Yes everyone says your liver will repair itself but you will have scar tissue which will inhibit proper function.

So this is my recommendation for PCT keep the nolva at either 20/20/10/10 or 40/20/10/10. I think which you use depends on what your bloods look like at week 4/5/6 depending on when you stop the epistane. If your test is super low and estrogen is high I would consider running the second option and taking and take Exemestane/Aromasin. This is the only AI you can use with nolva and it is the best in my opinion. Exemestane info: http://www.ironmagazine.com/2011/aro...ane-explained/ . It won't totally crush your estrogen like others will. I think exemestane should be used if you estrogen levels are higher than 35pg/ml. Running 25mg of exemestane ED will drop this down to ~20 pg/ml which is normal for most men, it will also boost Test and IGF-1 while decreasing SBHG which lowers free test. Another thing to look at is DAA dosed at 3mg per day which seems helpful. Look into Ostarine http://www.steroidology.com/forum/pr...rful-sarm.html I ran this will decent results but it is kinda expensive. Best for the price is ostabol by celtic labs.

During PCT you will lose a lot of mass since you body will dump water. Typically for me I retain my strength but deflate a lot. This cycle I lost 6-7lbs pct, about 1/2' off the arms to give you and idea. I did however retain all of the strength gains. Also be very careful what you eat during PCT since you are in a state where you will put fat on very easily, I recommend a low GI diet but most of use do that anyway.

Bottom line, get blood work done. Use your levels to see if you need to control estrogen during pct with exemestane/aromasin or if you are fine with just nolvadex. Other supps like DAA are helpful if you want to try them. Get some real liver protection by using TUDCA.

Personally, I think people blow off the liver damage that occurs with 17-aa steroids like epistane and the others because they take a liver sup. Just know that you will harm your liver to make muscle gains and if you don't mind this then a cycle is right for you.

Wow that's a lot of information lol thanks. I actually have a close friend whose dad does blood work for a living so I get my blood drawn and tested for free... Good to have connections lol but yea I already have had it taken and I'm gonna do it after my cycle 1st day of pct and after pct as well.

make sure you take the blood after the nolva has cleared your system so you get a good reading. also if you can make sure the blood work doesn't go on any record, it could cause issues with insurance etc later on.

SOME RESEARCH CHEM NOLVA INFO true twenty means that there is 30.4 of tamoxifen citrate per ml. which would give you an actual 20mg of nolva per ml.

20mgs of research chem liquid nolva isnt equal to 20mgs of real "nolvadex" real pharm grade(tablets) nolvadex has more done to it that makes it more potent.... this is why research chem nolva should be dosed at 30%-50% more.

true twenty means that there is 30.4 of tamoxifen citrate per ml. which would give you an actual 20mg of nolva per ml. Alot of places dont do it like this. When they say 20mg/ml,they dont consider the carrier molecule with it

It depends were you got your tamoxifen citrate. Some research chemicals companies adjust the weight of citrate but not all.

20 mg of Tamoxifen Citrate liquid approx. equals only 13.33 mg Nolvadex. i bet alot of you didnt know this and have been under-dosing...now you know.

so if you dont have true twenty nolva and you are not sure if the company you got iT from adjusts the weight then make sure you dose it at 1.5 ml that will give you 19.995 mgs of nolva which is close to 20mgs.

Yeah research chem can be a little concerning at times. Last time I got research chem torem it looked like a snow globe in the tube. It did the trick with basic doses tho 120,90,60,etc. My balls were 3 times normal size in dayz!!!!!!

Is that a definite fact? What if it's actually the right dosage/potency and I'm actually taking 40mg...is that going to be too much or will I be fine?

Not completely understanding this post...

I've never had a problem with underdosed/bunk RC but it is definitely possible that a RC is underdosed/bunk. I've read multiple post/reviews to that fact. I can't say if 40mg is too much for you, only you can determine that based on tolerance to sides.

Ahh now I see what your saying. I kinda realized that after I read it a second time. Hopefully I won't have a problem with the stuff I got.

Cool! I'd say start at 30 for first two weeks and if sides are not existent or minimal take it up to 40 for the final 4 weeks. You can always back down to 30 if needed. I personally start epi at 40 and don't go any higher because I've already determined my tolerance. Some are comfortable at much higher doses but for a first run I'd play it safe to see how your body handles epi.

Thanks for the input it's really helpful. So if I do 6 weeks it would look like 30/30/30/40/40/40? would you recommend going to 50 for weeks 5 and 6? this is my first cycle so I don't want to go overkill but I do want to see some good results.

Sounds like overkill to me ? How much mg each epistane pill ? I'm about to do my first oh cycle of msten and I'm starting at one pill a day
